seminar

I took seminar last semester, and while I started with the idea of investigating automotive aesthetics, I ended up working with much more personal ideas related to travel.  I designed a series of accordion fold books dealing with a trip my family took in 2004 to CA and back.

In my second semester of seminar I was planning on continuing with the same idea of working with my road trips/travel.  I find that I'm always on the road driving somewhere and want to incorporate that into making 'something.'

I've been playing with something I made in bookbinding a year ago...a book made from a single piece of paper.  I'm thinking dual sides, or 'dual' sides on one side...it can be seen as a book or as a flat sheet of paper.

I'm also working on compiling a list of all the places I've gone, mostly on the rally cruises but also as I drive everywhere.

Something I want to work with is the commute I used to do.  It was a 30-45min commute one way to school/work six to seven days a week.  Almost everyday I took a picture of something, whether it was of my car or of the sunrise or of some random thing I saw while driving.  I have all of these pictures uploaded to Facebook, so it has the date I uploaded them, as well as misc comments from people.  I can use this information somehow...
